Guest Bio

When she isn’t exploring the intersection between jazz, tropicalia, and indie pop with the Bird and the Bee, vocalist Inara George enjoys a solo career as a talented singer/songwriter. At a young age, she was surrounded by the music of her father (Little Feat’s Lowell George) and his illustrious peers –Jackson Browne, Terry Allen, and Van Dyke Parks — yet George never intended to follow in her late father’s footsteps. Rather, theater was her forte, and George’s younger years were spent performing Shakespeare in her native Topanga Canyon, a community in the Santa Monica mountains. She later relocated to Boston to study acting in the classical theater tradition.
